1.Belvedere Irish Night Show, Dance and Traditional 3-Course Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,171 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $56Our pick

Review of Belvedere Irish Night in Dublin, with traditional music, dancing, a three-course dinner, audience participation, timing, and value.

“Music was good, dancers were good. Service was OK. It seemed random in timing of when food came out and paying at the end was slow. Sad they have to charge 6.50 for a bottle of water. The dinner portion seems very long and could have probably condensed Lilly an hour by starting the show as we were finishing food.!”
